Hello & Happy Sunday.
Today in the UK is Mothering Sunday. One of the most bittersweet days of the year for me. Where I am blessed beyond measure to be a mum to two amazing boys. I am so proud of them and they bring me joy and love every day.
But then another year adds to the 15 already passed that I don't get to spend it with my mum, loved and missed so much. Sad that she never got to see me get married, have The Beans or get to dote on them like my parents in law do.
Still, I got to make a card for my mother in law who over the years has been a blessing and taken me under her wing like a daughter of her own.
Of course it had to be flowers and I fancied inking up the Stencil - Layering Picked Posies as I thought she would appreciate this one.
I kept it simple and added a sentiment from Everyday Love Sentiments and Everyday Spring Sentiments, along with a few enamel dots.
It's been a nice family day, although a little tiring as the clocks sprung forward this morning and I woke early, baked and cooked a Sunday roast.
Time to chill before a fun filled week prepping for Crafterama Gateshead tomorrow.

Your card is lovely! I share the sadness with you. My mom has been gone for 18 years. She did get to know my kids, though. Sending cheerful thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mother in law loved the card! It's beautiful!
